I would like to share a free audio eBook of Dante's Comedy (aka Divine Comedy), read by Prof. Lino Pertile (Harvard University) and with the commentary of Isidoro Del Lungo, produced as a demo project by my startup company Smuuks.

The eBook is released for free (no registration required) and under the terms of the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0 license.

The eBook is available in EPUB 3 format, and it contains Media Overlays support (aka "text highlighting in sync with audio"). There is a video of this feature on the project page, along with some screenshots.

Some stats: 100 chapters for a total of 14233 verses, 12+ hours of audio, 14333 SMIL fragments, 300+ MB size.

Comments, suggestions and criticism are all welcome: just post your message in this thread!
